100% get that it’s a niche controller, but I am that target market. I play a ton of strategy and old point and click games from my couch because I hate sitting at a desk, and crazy enough I still have the original steam controller for that reason. Honestly the price point it’s at and the feature set it has are entirely justifiable for me. Even though I don’t play a ton of shooters, the gyro on it is a must for me since I can’t do basic stick aiming. Just with the old Steam Controller, and even the Steam Deck, it’s not gonna be for everyone, but this is like a dream come true for me. And I’m not opposed to cheaper options as well, wife has an 8bitdo that does feel fantastic for the value too.
